Topic: DataLogger Plugin - Energy Monitoring (Read 9003 times)

Apagg: Looks like we'll have to do some further testing of the php-image-graph package, I see the sqlCVS changes were actually put in place, but I did do a sqlCVS update prior to starting on this last week and it did not work for me, I had to run pear install image_graph-0.7.1 to get the package before it would graph properly because the include was not there from the package.

Why did you decide to use the state changed event and a separate energy graph outside the generic graphing? I have not tested your source at all, but with the way the datalogger works for graphing generically with labels for the x and y axis from the unit table of the database, I'd think that wouldn't really work out so well for this type of device since the state changed event is really targetted for generic data. Can you post a screenshot of your work here?

Why did you decide to use the state changed event and a separate energy graph outside the generic graphing?

The reason I use the state change event is that its the only data that was available to me for monitoring the energy consumption. I also like the fact that I can plot energy consumption per device. The reason for making a separate energy graph was that I wanted a different look and the processing of the state data is different from sensor-data. When processing the state data you need to assume the state stays the same until the next state change.I hope this was understandable English is not my strong point

I'm not a coder ... unfortunately ... I know well EIB / KNX but I find it difficult to write code, I tried to take parts of LMCE and try to understand what they do, but with poor results.I just wanted to suggest a further development, I'm not here to ask someone to do this for me, I think that sometimes there is also need ideas, the creator of this project might not know the KNX actuators.

I have such an actuator Merten in my house with 12 outlets, each of which has at its disposal a group address that returns a float value of the peak current used.

The Merten is not the only company that produces this type, however once implemented reading from a device KNX open several possibilities for implementation (analog inputs, energy reading tools, etc. ..).
